## What is NovaLume?

Point at the text. NovaLume recognizes it and translates it right in front of you.

Built for menus, signs, packaging, notices, and printed text, NovaLume turns your iPhone camera into an immediate translation tool. Place a paragraph inside the viewfinder: the app detects the source language, shows the recognized text, and translates it into your selected language.

SIMPLE BY DESIGN

• Live automatic translation through the camera
• Automatic source-language detection with manual override
• Support for Italian, English, French, German, and Spanish
• Separate views for the original text and translation
• One-tap copy for the entire paragraph
• An interface designed for both portrait and landscape

MORE CONTROL WHEN YOU NEED IT

Freeze the view to read at your own pace, correct the recognized source text, or retry uncertain lines. NovaLume can also flag possible differences in numbers, prices, times, dates, and units without interrupting the translation.

TRANSLATE YOUR WAY

Use the personal glossary to save your preferred wording for specific terms in each language pair. Your choices are applied to future translations and can be edited, removed, or exported.

PRIVACY, BUILT IN

Camera frames, recognized text, translations, and corrections are processed on the device. NovaLume does not use its own network connection, require an account, record video, or automatically save photos and scans.

OFFLINE TRANSLATION

Language pairs prepared with Apple system-managed models can be used offline. When required, the one-time model download is handled through Apple’s system consent flow.

Fewer steps, faster understanding: point, read, translate.
